obtain an Annual Commercial License for TOGAF for no additional charge after
completing the additional appropriate paperwork for the license.

The TOGAF Commercial License Agreement is between your organization and The Open Group
and requires signature. The TOGAF Commercial License agreement only needs to be entered
into once per organization. It needs to be renewed annually (the latest
version has been updated to auto-renew if a licensee is in good standing). When it is in place multiple
products or services can be submitted for certification to the above Product Standards.

Licensing FAQs

Q. What is the difference between an Annual Commercial License
and an Annual Member License for TOGAF? Are they equivalent?

A. They are different. The Annual Member License is a personal license that
allows the individual in a member organization to retain a personal copy of
the TOGAF materials for 1 year. We do not require a signature, we just log
the fact that the materials have been downloaded under this license.

The Annual Commercial License is corporate, and requires an appropriate
signature on behalf of the organization.

Q. What license do Architecture Forum members need for TOGAF Certification?

For all product standards except TOGAF CERTIFIED, they need to have a
Commercial License. If a member is being submitted for TOGAF CERTIFIED under the
interim/soft conformance requirements then their organization also
needs an Annual Commercial License, if under the hard conformance
requirements no Annual Commercial License is required, see the Product Standard for details.

Q. I want to use TOGAF in a consulting engagement with an end user organization, what situations require a commercial license?

If you are an employee of the end user enterprise that intends using TOGAF internally then a commercial licence is not required

If you are a consultant, trainer, systems integrator, tools vendor or other service provider then you need a commercial license.

Your client - the end user organization does not need a commercial licence
